About 1000 people showed up in Hamilton, a village in rural (and very red) Madison County, NY. People aren’t happy with this abomination of an administration. #nokings

I bought a pretty bird bath dish to put outside when the weather gets nicer. In the meantime, the cats have decided it is their new water dish. 🙄

I made the cats very happy today. I pulled out the stove so I could unplug it & change the heating element (hurray for YouTube how-to videos!) and found a huge stash of their toys. Feline 2nd Christmas! #blueskycats #cats

My grandson turns 11 tomorrow. For his party today, he requested a cinnamon streusel Bundt cake with white frosting & orange & blue sprinkles. (He’s a big #SU fan.) kind of an old lady choice for an 11 yr old, but, whatever, dude!

I typically take the tree down on New Year’s Day but I’ve been enjoying the lights so much that I’m waiting until this weekend to do it. Or maybe I’ll just leave it until all the needles fall off.

It was fun to be in NYC and see all of the decorations but boy am I tired of battling crowds. Glad to be heading back to rural upstate.
